The executive order will require Texas public hospitals to track the cost of care for undocumented migrants, so that the state can push for fed reimbursement.
Gov. Greg Abbott has signed an executive order that requires public hospitals in Texas to collect information on the immigration status of patients so that the hospitals can then track costs incurred for the care of undocumented migrants. Previous guidance for public hospitals did not include questions about immigration status.
” The order requires that public hospitals in Texas collect information regarding the costs of medical care provided to undocumented immigrants starting Nov 1. Directly covered hospitals would have to report data to the state health commission quarterly, beginning in March 2025. “This would be a new requirement, and we are reviewing it as quickly as possible,” said Carrie Williams, spokesperson for the Texas Hospital Association.
